Summary: Percy Jackson thinks that he is just a troubled kid
attending a school for troubled kids. But soon enough, he accidently vaporizes
his maths teacher and his life becomes anything but safe and normal. He
realises that he is a demigod, a son of a Greek god, and is sent to Camp Half
Blood, a camp where demigod kids like him would be safe and receive training to
battle monsters. Percy makes new friends
in the camp and together they go on dangerous quests. But Percy soon finds out
that there is more to being a powerful demigod than just fighting lousy
monsters. The worst enemy of the gods rises and according to the great
prophecy, Percy would have to make a choice that would safeguard or destroy the
gods and the world forever.

My review: The Percy Jackson series is, hands down, a
fantastic series! Narrated in first person by the witty demigod protagonist,
Percy, this series would totally grip you! Let’s have a look at its pros and
cons.

Pros: Almost everything is a pro here! Percy is a hilarious guy
who is sassy and sarcastic even in the gravest of times. His friends Grover and
Annabeth are also as awesome as him. The trio goes to quests, defeats monsters,
vaporizes evil maths teachers and handles impossible situation with ease. The
story brims with imagination, humour and excitement and each chapter ends in a cliff
hanger. Percy is portrayed so realistically that you will just forget that he
is a fictional guy!

Cons: I seriously don’t know what to write in this section.
But I will definitely warn you, please do not read this series when you have
exams if you don’t want to fail.

Conclusion: Must Must Must Read!!!!!!

Recommended age group: 11 years to 17 years

Stars: 5/5
